Your trust in me in important, I aim to be clear open and honest in all aspects of our relationship

Data Protection:

I will keep brief hand written notes about our work together. These aid my memory and help me to provide my best service to you. I will not keep these notes for longer than we work together.

I am required by my insurance company to log our work together including our starting and ending dates, your contact details and brief notes about our work, most specifically any difficulties that occurred. I will keep these details for 5 years.

In order that your information remains anonymous I keep your notes separately to your personal details and keep all of my paperwork in locked storage boxes. 

You are free to read these notes at any time.

Digital Storage

I do not currently use online digital storage.

I store your phone number on my phone and your e-mail address on my computer. 

These devices are both for my personal use, are password protected and carry the latest security software. 

I will keep text exchanges or email exchanges relating to our work, I will not store this information for longer than we work together.

I only store this information to enable me to work most effectively with you.

I will not share your personal information with anyone else except in the case of my own death or serious illness during our work together. In this instance I would like to share your name and phone number as I have in place an agreement with a colleague who would contact you to let you know of my situation and would offer you support and a referral to another counsellor if you require it.
